This is a simply amazing video by Dr Randy Pausch. Every minute spent is worth your time. dont miss it.
I wanted to get his book. But found this video instead.
Here is the list of lessons learned
- Loyalty is a two-way street.
- Never give up.
- You get people to help you by telling the truth. Being earnest. I’ll take an earnest person over a hip person every day, because hip is short term. Earnest is long term.
- Apologize when you screw up and focus on other people, not on yourself.
- Get a feedback loop and listen to it. … Anybody can get chewed out. It’s the rare person who says, oh my god, you were right. … When people give you feedback, cherish it and use it.
- Show gratitude.
- Don’t complain. Just work harder.
- Be good at something, it makes you valuable.
- Work hard.
- Find the best in everybody. … No one is all evil. Everybody has a good side; just keep waiting, it will come out.
- And be prepared. Luck is truly where preparation meets opportunity.
